  “And what about Ms. Kirby?” Thomás asked, the words so casual it made me want to spit at him.

  “What about her?”

  “She might be useful to my employers, but I’ll trade her for you.”

  I sat still for a moment, glad I couldn’t hear the protests that had to be flying around Hansen’s head. This was not how you dealt with kidnappers. On any day, I’d agree with him. I knew Andrea could be useful, but I also knew my own ability would be too tempting for them. I heard Thomás grunt as he slowly got to his feet behind me.

  “I’ll go with you on one condition,” I said. I didn’t move. Only looked down at Hansen’s face. He looked so non-caring at the moment. His expression utterly bland as he looked at me. It was so unlike him.

  “I’ll free them,” Thomás said. No clarification needed. “When I know you’ll hold up your end.”

  I nodded then and got up from my knees, my legs still hurting from his punches earlier. I turned around and looked at him, bright blue eyes staring back at me. He didn’t use his ability on me, though. He didn’t need to, did he?

  I was trapped.

  “I’ll need to see proof you’ll hold up your end,” I told him.

  He clutched one hand to his chest and winced in pain, but indicated the door nonetheless. “You will. You simply have to trust me.”

  I sighed and started walking. I had to step over Dr. Morris and pass her dead stare a moment. I didn’t trust him in the least, but he was right. I had no choice. And so, I walked through the door, escorted with an awkward and cold wet hand clamped around my neck, as my now kidnapper led me down the stairs and away from any allies I had.
